...cylinders of high-level waste, 1.7 million slightly larger containers of intermediate-level waste and 2 million 55-gallon drums of low-level waste. "Existing sites are going to fill up and the demand keeps increasing," warns Theodore Greenwood, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor who served on a White House task force that examined the issued. In short, as Greenwood laments, "we badly need more sites...
...When the court is working on the margins of things, it would be expecting too much to get clear and ringing answers,'' says Harvard Law School Professor Laurence Tribe. ''Yes, this court is un even and divided; it is feeling its way. But to do otherwise would undermine the credibility of the institution.''

Jaffe, who won the Heinemann Prize for mathematical physics this past week, contends that there's a good reason for the traditional lag: "the awarding of the Nobel Prize at too young an age can conceivably hamper a person's career. It focuses the attention, the publicity, in such a special way. You're so much in the spotlight, and your science suffers correspondingly." But Glashow, while feeling the immediate pressures of the prize and the extent...
